...Johnson and Special Assistant Walt Rostow made no effort to conceal their glee. For 17 months, the Russians had rebuffed every U.S. overture, including Johnson's disarmament plea at the United Nations three weeks ago. Then, in an address to the Supreme Soviet last week, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko declared that Moscow was "ready for an exchange of opinion" on the missile issue. Said Gromyko: "The current revolutionary epoch is doing away with the traditional concepts of strength."

Gromyko's intransigent tone made it obvious even to Secretary-General U Thant that the U.N. is not likely to be the arena in which the Viet Nam impasse will finally be broken...
...rest of the day without food. Johnson prevailed, and lunch was served on a cloth-covered raw-wood table hastily hammered together by the White House kitchen staff, which had come up from Washington along with the food. During the meal, which was attended by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other top aides, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara spoke about the advantages of a mutual freeze on production of anti-ballistic missile systems. Gromyko replied with the standard answer: the Soviets need an ABM network for protection against U.S. missiles...
